New records and corrections of coralline algae (Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) for the NW Iberia (Galicia and northern Portugal)

Coralline red algal flora of NW Iberia was re-visited in the framework of a recent doctoral thesis. The present study provides information about 22 species, 9 taxa are new records for Galicia (Harveylithon samoense, Hydrolithon boreale, H. sargassi, Lithophyllum crouaniorum, Pneophyllum confervicola, P. coronatum, P. limitatum, P. myriocarpum and Titanoderma pustulatum var. confine). 8 are new for continental Portugal (Hydrolithon boreale, Lithophyllum bathyporum. L. crouaniorum, Mesophyllum expansum, Pneophyllum myriocarpum, Titanoderma corallinae, T. laminariae and T. pustulatum var. confine) and Phymatolithon lamii for northern Portugal. At province level, 14 taxa are new records and 8 are second records. In addition, Lithophyllum duckerae and Phymatolithon purpureum are excluded from the Atlantic Iberia flora.
